Probably the shop I was most excited to find was Sephora! Sephora is one of my absolute favourite makeup shops, but we don't have it in New Zealand, so I was really happy when I saw it in Arezzo (a town in Tuscany!). I could have stayed in there for hours, but we only had one day in Arezzo and there were loads of places we wanted to go, so I had to be really quick. I picked up Sephora eyeshadow in 'It Bag', and Sephora nail polish in 'Seductive Red".
I love the eyeshadow! It goes on really well, and it's shimmery but not over the top glittery, which is perfect for me! It also stays on for ages, especially if you use eye primer first. I have been using it a lot, and now is my go-to eyeshadow! I think it cost around 12 euros, which is around 18 NZ dollars, which is quite expensive for one eyeshadow, but I really like it and I think it's definitely worth buying.
Personally, I find Sephora nail polishes are so easy to apply, especially the bigger bottles, which is why I had to get a nail polish when I went in. This colour looked a lot darker when I saw it in the store which is why I got it, because I thought it would be perfect for winter, but it turns out to be quite a lot brighter in the sunlight. I do still like it, but I think I would have preferred it to be a little bit darker, and it chips quite easily. It cost around 9 euros, so about $13.50 which is pretty cheap for a nail polish, especially one this size!

While I was at this Sephora shop, I was a little bit naughty and picked up some other things as well! The first thing I got was the Sephora complexion and eye brush set. I really wanted to try out the Sephora brushes, and this set of 4 was only 24 euros, so I decided to give it a go, and I love it! It comes with a foundation brush, a blush/powder brush, an eyeshadow brush, and a precision smudge brush. It even has a little booklet explaining how to use each brush properly. The little bag it comes in is really cute, and the brushes are great so far!
